Advent Horizon - "Falling Together" - CD

Advent Horizon returns with a new studio album titled Falling Together. The follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2023 album A Cell to Call Home will be released on May 15, 2026.

Falling Together is a record about holding your beliefs under a microscope and determining whether they are truly yours or whether they were planted by others when you were young and impressionable. Vocalist/Guitarist/Songwriter Rylee McDonald explains, “I’ve spent the past decade re-examining my upbringing and realized many of the ‘truths’ I was taught were carefully shaped beliefs. While rooted in my own experience, it revealed how we still divide ourselves by religion, politics, and class — an enduring ‘us vs. them.’ Falling Together is my attempt to capture those reflections in song.”

Work on the new album traces back further than it might appear. Much of the material began taking shape during the sessions for A Cell To Call Home, when early ideas — including the expansive In a Lone and Dreary World — proved too large in scope to fit that record. Rather than force it into the previous release, the band set those songs aside and began shaping a follow-up built around the same musical DNA. By the time A Cell To Call Home arrived, roughly a third of the next album already existed, and the following year was spent refining and expanding it into a complete statement. The goal became clear: distill what makes the band distinct into something heavier, tighter, and more representative of their identity.
